Abstract

This paper proposes a novel dataset – called Healful Dataset – correlating real data acquired from wearable health-tracking devices with Self-reported Quality of Life (SRQoL) measures collected using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Recently, increasing interest has been shown in using technology for Quality of Life (QoL) monitoring and improvement, significantly leveraging the Internet of Health Things (IoHT). Although several tools have been developed to quantify QoL, such as the SF-36 and WHOQOL-BREF, most are based on static and bothersome questionnaires rather than ubiquitous real-time data collection. Our database addresses this gap by integrating sensor-generated data with QoL assessment, enhancing the research path focused on intelligent models for QoL monitoring that use Machine Learning techniques to predict and improve QoL. In this paper, we describe the methodology used to build this database, the scenarios in which it can be applied, and discuss its relevance for future IoHT-driven health solutions toward improving people’s QoL through personalized monitoring and interventions.
